I sneaked in silently. No one heard me, no one saw. Gisborne's room was concealed inside the castle, I knew exactly where it was.
He was asleep, snoring in his bed. How he could sleep after what he'd done I still do not know. But there he was, perfect and waiting.
He awoke as I crept closer. Looking around for the source of the soft noise of feet. His eyes fell on me.
"Hood, fancy seeing you here."
My eyes were burning with anger now, I knew he could see it as he shifted uneasily in his bed.
"What do you want? I'm sure we could set up an appointment some time, not this late."
"I am truly sorry, but you have an appointment already set up, and after that one, you won't be seeing me for a while."
"Oh, and who with?"
"Death." I sneered, and I enjoyed the fear in his eyes. The look of uneasy discomfort on his face.
"And you are the one who set up the appointment I assume." Gisborne talked tough, but he was afraid.
"Yes, and I will be the one to see it through." I drew my sward.
"Not going to use your bow I see. And why not?"
I stared at Gisborne, fire raging inside me. "I've killed with my bow, and every time I lift it to shoot, I see them , all the men I slaughtered, everyone. I wouldn't want to see you, now would I?" I put my sward to his neck, and he sucked in a breath of fear.
"I don't think this is really necessary Hood."
"Tell that to Marian."
